3rd Trimester

Scheduled C-Section Question

Anyone know if you can eat before a scheduled section?  I wasn't told otherwise at my appointment today, but it seems like you shouldn't.  I'll call the hospital later on today, just wanted to see if anyone had any incite, last time I was in labor for 18 hours before, so I wasn't allowed to eat anyways.

TIA!

Re: Scheduled C-Section Question

  • I wasn't allowed to for my induction or my c/s, but it's certainly worth a call.
  • With my last, I was told nothing after midnight.

  • I was told not to eat anything after midnight and my csection was first thing in the morning.

  • You aren't supposed to eat or drink anything for 6-7 hourse before a CS.  My CS is at 7 in the morning and my Dr. said nothing after midnight.  I will be setting my alarm do have a snack at 11:45!
  • I think it's 12 hours for me and mine is at 7:30 so i'll be doing like pp and setting a midnight alarm to stuff my face.

  • I was told "nothing after midnight" both times. The last one was a few hours earlier than this one though, so maybe you just need a few good hours for your stomach to empty out and my doc just likes to keep it simple by sticking with midnight as the deadline.

  • Just went on our hospital tour and one of the other ladies asked that same question. Nurse said no matter what, nothing to eat after midnite. Even if your c-section is 8am or 1pm. She they will ask you when your last meal was and if it was too soon, they will delay the c-section.

  • I had my c-sec at 3PM and wasn't allowed to eat after midnight the night before.

  • Thanks everyone!  I ended up calling last night and they said nothing after midnight for an 8am c-section.  Can't wait for tomorrow now! =)
